Mortage Calculator

[Roger Barr]

My name is Roger

This is my first week ever programming with java.

This is what I have to create; I have to have an applet to put on a web page where it will calculate a loan amount or principle, number of payments = payments per year*number of years, interest per period = apr/payments per year = apr/12, monthly payment amount = principal * interest per period /(1-(1+(interest per period)/100)^(number of payments -1)^2)

This is what I have so far but I can not get it to work.

 
Import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
Public class MortgageCalculator
{
     public static void main( String args[] )
     {
          //get user input from JOptionPane input dialogs
         String loanAmount =
               JOptionPane.showInputDialog( �Enter Loan 
Amount� );
          String secondNumber = 
                 JOptionPane.showInputDialog( �Enter 
annualPercentageRate� );
          String thirdNumber = 
                    JOptionPane.showInputDialog( 
�numberOfYearsToPayLoan� );
          //convert String inputs to int values for use in 
calculation
         int number1 = Integer.parseInt( loanAmount );
         int number2 = Integer.parseInt( annualPercentageRate 
);
         int number3 = Integer.parseInt( numOfYearsToPayLoan 
);
         int monthlypaymentamount =((p*(i/100))/(1-(Math.pow
((1+(i/100)),(n*(-1))))));
        //display result in a JOptionPane message dialog
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, �The monthly 
payment amount is � +    monthlypaymentamount, �Monthly 
Payment Amount�, JOptionPane.PLAIN-MESSAGE );
 
     } // end method main
  
} //end class MortgageCalculator

I would really appreciate your help.

Thank You
Roger

We do prefer that people let others know when they've done so.

Seems like the question has been answered already in the Sun forums, so I'm not sure what else you're looking for ... ?
